I have a Phillips 711 and the disk`s come out very hot from mine to. I was quite surprised by the heat when I first got the player but it does not seam to have damaged a disk yet.
The only problem I have had with the player so far is with the movie Blade, it insists on repeating the opening studio title sequence again and again (the bit before the menu) and I have to force it out of the loop at a certain point. The disk works fine on my friends Sony.
